The VPC has been active in promoting river stewardship and access to paddling resources for over 30 years. Search the Bow and Stern archive using the term "conservation" and you will find many worthwhile projects and accomplishments that VPC members have to their credit.

The West River access issue is now on the front burner in Vermont paddling circles, and the proposed weir removal on the Little River is also getting a lot of attention.

Jack Daggitt of Stowe is the current VPC Conservation Chairperson. If you want to become involved in the VPC on a conservation track, it would be a good idea to start with a phone call to Jack (802-253-2524).
